TLC-authorized livery drivers take a defensive driving course, get drug tested and clear a criminal background check, but that’s not the case for ‘gypsy’ cab drivers, who often steal business from authorized taxis and livery cabs.

Jeremys: Do any cabbies give private tours of new york for tourist?

Just a cabby?: Ramirez, what do u mean hybrid cabs don't have a spare tire? In Camry, it is in the bottom of the trunk. If u lift the pelt (trunk lining rug), u see it. Fleets shoud do much more than just fixing the cabs running on four wheels. But they haven't been doing enough. They better do now to keep the drivers. Like have somebody to clean btwn shifts. Plus regularly disinfect n vacuum. So far they're not receptive. I gave up any expectation. So I clean n I check.

CreditCardCabbie: Have you ever got a "summons-break" from any police officer when pulled you over and give verbal warning without a summons? Tell us more about it!

Ramirez: The tire-pressure sensors are essential parts, and should not be ignored. Unfortunately hybrid taxicabs don't have a spear-tire in the trunk.

Just a cabby?: ASP Rule is suspended on Friday, Feb.27 according to NYC DOT.

Just a cabby?: Ramirez, get a tire pressure gauge at $2 at gas station n check them manually. Then check visually whenever u step out. It's better because u detect n adjust under n over inflation (dashboard light for under only, I think). Fleets should do many essentials when a key is handed over to a driver like full washer fluid with this snow n salt. ZipCar does, your feet does?

Ramirez: Tire pressure monitor should be in working order in every cab, then cab drivers could have an early-warning on low tire pressures to save tires. It’s important safety matter; ignored by taxi fleets, and by the TLC inspectors.

Mohammed Aslam Khan: I need a day driver for one month in Jackson Hieghts on a yellow cab- Prius V. My number is 718-340-8757

Just a cabby?: For your health: Remind you to have correct postures when you shovel. I see too many people bend their waist and twist it while shoveling. The worst thing to do to your lower back, say chiropractors. Always bend your knees and move your legs to left or right instead of bending the waist and twisting it, while lifting a heavy shovel or a luggage.

Just a cabby?: I apologize for apologize apology. I hope you can tolerate my mistakes, here and there. ⛄

Just a cabby?: I apologize apology. I should have done double check of self correcting. Also on WQXR 105.9FM @10PM on Sunday, Reflections from the Keyboard by David Dubal. Detox your mind from driving too much with some Lincoln-Center-like treat.

Just a cabby?: MoveCab is a part of MoveNewYork and it's good for environment and economy. Besides limiting number of cars into Manhattan, planning better flow of traffic can MoveNewYork. For example, redesign the intersection at FDR Dr and Grand St. It's painful to look at the long line 24hrs when I drive by on southbound.

Just a cabby?: "Filthy Cabs": I apology to passengers riding in them. But it is not in drivers' control. Drivers not owning the cabs also suffer in them. Fleets and garages seem to never realize that their best interest and investment is keeping clean cabs for drivers and passengers. They keep doing what they have been doing without facing passengers. Customer service is still foreign words to them.

Just a cabby?: Dear Susans: I'm so amazed how people like you can be so ignorant. I wouldn't waste my time to argue with you and insult you further. Somehow you made it to live in Manhattan. Luckily I have Central Park capacity of tolerance.

Susans: We are the people who live and breathe in MANHATTAN. We are not taxi drivers coming here from the ends of brooklyn and queens who do not care about our environment. 90% of you guys just care about making a quick buck and returning back to your country asap.

Mohammed Aslam Khan: In need of a day driver in Jackson Heights on 2013 Prius V. Call me on 718-340-8757.

Mohammed Aslam Khan: In need of a day driver in Jackson Heights on 2013 Prius V. Call me on 718-340-8757.

Just a cabby?: Susans, who are "we"? You didn't design Central Park. Cabs already use the Park in transverse n in drive for limited time. For your selfish wish, you want to keep the huge park for yourself n pollute all others on 5Ave, CPW, CPS n CPN. Efficient traffic flow is not luxury, it is necessity for everybody n economy. Concrete structure is made for cars, 20C invention, to move people and goods for everyday life and economy. You wouldn't be on ""Drive" in rainy day, bad weather or at night but "you" wouldn't let any car use it either. Who the hell do you think you are?

CreditCardCabbie: Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying. Did you cabbies try, and gave up? Do failures stop you? If it does, then you think cabbies can’t succeed. Success gained by little steps from all of us, so be part of it, and that makes taxi business better!

Susans: Keep all those filtey cabs out of central park! We do not need your solution, we don't care who needs to get to the upper west side faster, you will wait in traffic like everyone else!!!

Just a cabby?: Central Park Drive is designed for serious traffic flow not for leisure by special interest groups. Opening to cabs would have effects of heart surgery to a patient.

Just a cabby?: According to NYC DOT, it is authorized to install 140 cameras in school zones operating one hour before till one hour after school hours in school days. Camera captures the image when a car travels over 10 mph over the limit.

CreditCardCabbie: The majority of cabdrivers are excellent drivers. Imagine that if you’re in their cab,
driving 11-12 hours with that annoying taxi-TV, how safe you would be? Top of that, cabbies are the largest group of hardworking people who are always being ticketed just about for anything! Punish those irresponsible drivers who do the accidents!!!

Jackd: Business is down, leases should also go down, why are some owners or garage are still charging so much.

NADEEM 3475757057: LOOKING FOR A DAY DRIVER IN FLUSHING, QUEENS FOR A 2014 HYBRID TOYOTA PRIUS V. YOU CAN START IMMEDIATELY .

Jamess: The NYPD should leave everyone alone, just like they did last month after the Deblasio drama. The streets were so peaceful

Weekly driver: Should NYPD leave cabbies alone, just like all MTA bus drivers? What would change, if they do that? Cabbies are getting pulled over by NYPD more often than any other group of people in NYC, and that is alarming! How do you guys feel about it?

Jim: Let's assume Abe is honest. Uber offered a $10,000 guarantee for December of last year. Guarantee is over. That's a lot of what this game is about, suckering in drivers, sometimes to lease a car through Santander, which is in business with Uber. Then, in most places, Uber slashes it's per mile rate and tells drivers they'll make more because there will be more business. It's a lie in two ways, first there are only so many hours in a day, and second there is so much over saturation it doesn't make a difference.

Just a cabby?: To Deen, a while ago: I would suggest that you contact him and make an arrangement for weekly installment payment. Tell him if he doesn't comply with the plan, you would file the case in a small claims court.

family cab: These uber ahole trolls are so stupid. The more drivers working the less pings that will be available. I guess you have to be good in math to figure that out. If I was working for uber I wouldn't be trying to invite more competition.
